I had a similar problem on my 88 mustang. The stock set up has two adjustable parts called the quadrant and the paul. You can find them by getting underneath the steering wheel and looking up.( In a very uncomfortable position.) When you move the pedal watch for the quadrant to move, and that's how you locate it. Pull the clutch pedal towards the seat, and push on the quadrant to reset it.By doing so, the clutch should adjust itself where it needs to go, the next time you push on the pedal. I ended up replacing mine with a Steeda aluminum quadrant and clutch adjuster, because the two stock pieces are plastic and broke on me.

MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
1. USING INTELLIGENT TESTER: CLAMP POSITIONADJUSTMENT (CLUTCH POSITIONADJUSTMENT)
Tech Tips
The multi-mode manual transmission system has a load controlled clutch cover (adjustment system). The pressure plate moves depending on the wear
condition of the clutch disc lining.
When removing or installing any parts related to the multi-mode manual transmission system, move the clutch actuator to the clutch clamp position. This is
for normal operation of the load controlled clutch cover (adjustment system).
If the clutch position adjustment operation input fails, perform the operation again from step (a) more than 15 seconds after turning the ignition switch off.

You adjust the pedal height by turning the clutch master cylinder pushrod which is attached to the clutch pedal under the dash. Loosen the locknut and turn the rod to raise or lower the clutch pedal. Don't forget to tighten the locknut when done

Remove clutch release shaft from flywheel housing by pulling it through window in flywheel housing until retainer spring disengages from pivot.

Remove clutch release hub and bearing from clutch release shaft.

Loosen six clutch pressure plate bolts evenly to release spring tension gradually and avoid distorting clutch pressure plate. If same clutch pressure plate is to be installed, mark plate and flywheel so pressure plate can be installed in its original position.

"A good clutch adjustment begins by identifying the location of the
bearing. It should be positioned 1/2" to 9/16" from the clutch brake."

"After the bearing is set, adjust the truck linkage to allow the
clutch brake to squeeze a .010" feeler gauge between the bearing and
clutch brake when the pedal is no more than 1" to 1.5" from the floor.
Setting the clutch brake position too far from the floor reduces the
stroke to the clutch and could cause release problems and reduce brake
life.
All that remains is checking the free-pedal
distance in the cab. With the pedal in the up position, there should be
1" to 3" of free pedal. The clutch is now adjusted correctly."

i have just replaced an 03 civic ex clutch and transmission bearings due to a customer being too harsh on it. It sounds like its got a little life left in it if you are easy on it.

if there is adjustment in this model use the below walkthrough to adjust it.

adjust the clutch pedal,

1. if you look up on the top of the clutch pedal, the first thing you should see if a clutch pedal position switch, and right behind it there is a locknut, looens the locknut. once you loosen it, back off on the pedal position switch or adjusting bolt untill it no longer touches the clutch pedal.

2. now behind the clutch pedal, there is a pushrod. and on that pushrod, there is a locknut, loosen that locknut. Now turn the pushrod in or out to get the desired height and stroke at the clutch pedal.

The freeplay is the amount of push on the clutch pedal to where is starts to have resistance from the top. I have usually been told it should be set at 1 1/2-2 inches of freeplay.

Once you set it, tighten the locknut on the pushrod. With the clutch pedal released, turn in the clutch pedal position switch untill it contacts the clutch pedal. then turn it an additional 3/4 to 1 turn. And tighten the locknut.

Now on top of the clutch pedal switch, there is a clutch interlock switch. Loosen the locknut on that switch. then press the clutch pedal to the floor.

release the clutch pedal 15-20 mm (0.59-0.79 in) from the fully pressed position, and hold it there. adjust the position of the clutch interlock switch so the engine will start with the clutch pedal in this position. then tighten the locknut on that switch.

first i would try adjusting the clutch cable because commonly people with think that they're clutch is going out when really just the cable has gotten stretched....try adjusting that first and if that works then you should be fine for another couple thousand miles but if you want to not have to worry bout it for awhile i would just replace teh clutch assembly....usually ranges from $200 to $450 depending on the clutch set and the mechanic that does the work for you. Let me know what happens. :)
